Surplus Council Lands Rationalisation Policy

The Surplus Council Lands Rationalisation Policy was adopted by Council on the 12 October 2005.

The objectives of this policy are to:

• Achieve stated Corporate Plan objectives;

• Identify and consider disposal options for Council owned and operated community land assets (land and buildings) identified as being surplus (by agreed criteria);

• Sell land/buildings in order to:

    - reduce Council’s maintenance costs;

    - generate funds to afford new and improved facilities;

    - utilise the land for more appropriate land uses, and

• Implement Council’s philosophy of quality, rather than quantity.
